Esso backwards is ossé

While these stations certainly do look out of place (especially at Sherbrooke and St-Laurent), what always struck me was the lack of downtown gas stations in the city. The only other ones I can think of within quick driving distance are at Park and Mount Royal and Mountain and GauchetiÃ¨re. Unlike in the West Island, for example, where there’s one on just about every corner, you really have to look for them downtown.
